TLDR
In this paper, a force density proportional to the surface curvature of constant color is defined at each point in the transition region; this force-density is normalized in such a way that the conventional description of surface tension on an interface is recovered when the ratio of local transition-reion thickness to local curvature radius approaches zero.

Perspective on Eulerian Finite Volume Methods for Incompressible Interfacial Flows

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on finite volume methods of discretization for the partial differential equations manifesting the physical model of incompressible interfacial flows, i.e., flows possessing multiple distinct, immiscible fluids separated by interfaces of arbitrarily complex topology.

Volume of fluid (VOF) method for the dynamics of free boundaries

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of a fractional volume of fluid (VOF) has been used to approximate free boundaries in finite-difference numerical simulations, which is shown to be more flexible and efficient than other methods for treating complicated free boundary configurations.
